I initially did not as they charted as part of a group but as it was their solo debuts, they were rightfully added. 1 minute ago, BPD said: Didn’t Britney and Christina? Not sure. Billboard does not list either single as having debuted at #1. They debuted and then went #1 eventually. Link to post Share on other sites

Petty Bourgeoisie Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Doesn’t she have other music Link to post Share on other sites
Timber Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 2 minutes ago, Petty Bourgeoisie said: Doesn’t she have other music Just from Bizaardvark and HSMTMTS. None were released as singles, but the one song she wrote for HSM actually did pretty well because she's a really talented writer. Link to post Share on other sites

rihannabiggestfan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Definitely not that Olivia person and Zayn was already an established singer before Pillowtalk, so that doesn't really count Link to post Share on other sites

So it counts. Link to post Share on other sites

duybeeGAshantiGA Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 This shows how impressive Driver license is. I mean 4 of those songs are from AI right after they won and it was their winning song that got performed at the victory night. Zayn left 1 Direction and released the song. It was the first solo song from any member so it was not super impressive. So that left only Olivia and Lauryn... Whew... Only 2 songs in history to organically debut at #1.

So it counts. it “counts” but it doesn’t really mean anything special since he was a part of huge boyband and his going solo made headlines. Link to post Share on other sites
